DBD::ADO Crashes on Fork

[Robert Boisvert]

Hi,

I'm working on a project to connect to a SQLExpress database on a Win7x64 
computer and running into a problem when I fork to a child process.  I know 
that it is important to close file handles when forking but I can't seem to 
close the ADO handles and the program crashes when the child process terminates 
(see program snippet below).  Is my code in error or is there something amiss 
with the ADO/DBI drivers?

I appreciate whatever assistance you can provide,
